A Tartle for the Rich Tariff Critique
The Associated Press synopsis from Paris, cited by the Baltimore Sun, argues the McKinley tariff harms the poor while protecting tariff monopolists. It quotes Vanbergen, who exports 35,000,000 francs in textile goods yearly, saying high tariffs do not boost trade in high quality goods and reduce cheaper imports. The piece claims the burden falls on those with moderate means and that rich buyers can still purchase luxury items.
